I am a sysadmin and the president and founder of LILUG [lilug.org] I have recently written a CC scifi thriller, Thicker Than Blood [thickertha...hebook.com] A series on the very near future of nanotech

A couple of years ago I released a draft of a science fiction novel under the by-nc-nd CC license. I started accepting edits in the hopes of polishing a manuscript for submission to a publisher. A publisher never materialized, but the draft started getting really solid. So a couple of months ago I decided to buy an ISBN and sell hard copies from Lulu. While doing research for a press release I great difficulty discovering the first CC, community edited, work of fiction. I strongly suspect that this novel is the first. My questions are can anybody point to a prior CC + community edited + fiction + novel? How about under other licenses? Science fiction? If someone has traveled this road before, I'd like to ask them how it went. I would also like to vet this here before making such a claim.

Odinson writes "Despite a near media blackout, Republican Ron Paul managed to blow away the record for one day totals for both parties at about 6 million dollars. The lack of coverage and the small donation size ($50) indicate this is largely due to through communication through the web and email and large numbers of popular You Tube videos. The campaign has had 118,000+ individual donors this quarter. Some people are shocked the servers didn't fall over, but of course they are running Linux. :) Is successful national politicking now possible without the TV press?
